Detroit Tigers right-hander Casey Mize shined in his big-league debut.
Anticipated as the franchise's future ace since being selected No. 1 overall in the 2018 draft, Mize got his chance Wednesday against the red-hot Chicago White Sox to show he belongs.
"It's nice to see him up here in the big leagues now," manager Ron Gardenhire said Wednesday. "We've got to get him in a routine of every fifth day, and we'll see how he does the rest of the way. All we know is that the kid is a really special talent."
Mize pitched 4u2153 innings, giving up three runs on seven hits with seven strikeouts.
